It was Mladen’s name day, so we wish a happy name day to Mladen Bartulović. Our hajdukovac from Kaštela has been in Ukraine for a long time, for years, his wife is Natalija, and his daughter Nikolina is 13 years old. Time flies. He is already a real Ukrainian and now he is the coach of Metalista 1925 from Kharkiv. We called him, congratulated him, we haven’t heard from him in a long time…
– Here I am in Kaštela, at home, for the holidays, a little break and rest… Soon after the New Year, we are going to prepare in Spain, in Marbella…
You as if it is not a war?
– War is, of course, a special situation, but we try to live normally, the championship is being played, we hope to qualify for Europe. We are permanently stationed in Kiev, where life is somewhat normalized, bombings are not as frequent as before.
Are you already used to everything?
– Well, yes, what can be done, that’s right… We can only hope for peace and for the negotiations to succeed. We really wanted peace.
Are you doing well?
– I’m not complaining, among the Croats, fitness coach Dragan Todorović from Crikvenica is also with me, we are a good team. Follow us a little more as we push, we won’t disappoint you, support Metalist 1925! Bartulović said.
And we wish him peace in the New Year, that he spends his preparations well in Marbella and places Metalist 1925 on the European stage.
